Question

How do I change the location Lightroom auto syncs too?

I am trying to set up lightroom cc and have it auto import images from my office's image folder on google drive so that lightroom always stays up to date as we add more photos, but I don't know how to direct it to that location to do it or if I even can.  When I first opened lightroom cc it just grabbed photos and started to upload them, but I don't know where it was grabbing them from. How can I point lightroom cc to auto sync and upload folders from google drive?

There is no app called Lightroom CC, so please tell us which of the two different Lightroom apps you are referring to. There is Lightroom Classic, which DOES have an auto-import function, and there is the cloud-centric Lightroom desktop app, which does NOT have an auto-import function.

 

Please advise the exact version number of the app that you are using (do Help>System Info and provide a screenshot of the first 10 lines).

The cloud version of lightroom.  Also if there is no auto-sync why would it then the first time I opened it did it important a whole bunch of photos?

Could the photos that were present either have been taken on your phone and synced to the Cloud or alternatively synced to the Cloud from a Lightroom Classic Collection?
